The National Arena League (NAL) is a professional indoor football league that began play in 2017. As of the end of the 2024 season, the league consisted of five teams.
A team's typical budget is $400,000 to $500,000 per season. Players are usually paid $200 per week (before taxes), and veterans can make $225 with the potential raises for loyalty on a year-by-year basis. Additionally, $50 bonus can be given to players on the winning team each week. Some teams also provide housing for their players during the season.
Teams' estimated annual revenue is between $500,000 and $800,000 a year.
